| Abstract | The primary mission of the public schools has been to prepare students to be effective citizens capable of sustaining a vibrant and inclusive democracy. The nation's founders believed that the profound experiment in republican government that they were initiating "depended on citizens' ability to participate in public life and to exhibit civic virtues such as mutual respect and prudent judgment" (McDonnell 2000). However, even as the scope of American democracy has expanded to include a broader, more diverse population and an understanding of the need to respect and embrace the needs and aspirations of all our citizens, the schools' civic focus has eroded, so much so that, at the present time, the viability of our democratic institutions is at risk. This white paper summarizes the troubling trends that raise the question of whether the nation's schools have been fulfilling their critical civic mission to prepare young people to be good citizens, capable of safeguarding democracy and stewarding the nation toward a greater realization of its democratic values.
